MOBILE, Ala. – The University of South Alabama football program will face a third opponent from the Mid-American Conference with Friday's announcement by Director of Athletics Dr. Joel Erdmann that the school has agreed to a home-and-home contract with Central Michigan.

The Jaguars will take on the Chippewas in Mount Pleasant on Sept. 10, 2022, while the following fall on Sept. 9 CMU will come to Mobile.

The first meeting is the third contest on the Jags' schedule that season, with USA set to face Bowling Green at home on Sept. 3 as well as visit UCLA Sept. 17.

The Jaguars first played a MAC opponent in 2011 when they fell at Kent State, but would go on to defeat the Golden Flashes during both the 2013 and '14 campaigns.  The Jags have played BGSU as well, having taken on the Falcons while making their first-ever postseason bowl appearance at the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl last December.

USA and Bowling Green also have a two-game agreement in place for match-ups in 2021 and '22.
